Completely un-dj related, but I know there's some home-theatre gurus out there, so...

I'm in the (very slow) process of assembling a HTPC. I've got a good portion of the parts together with more coming very soon.

I'm going to be sticking LG's combo blu-ray/HD dvd drive in the machine (sexy), and of course I want to be able to view those newfangled movies in all their HD glory. That said, I want to be able to output things at 1080p (yes, I know my TV must support it as well).

I have an n-vidia GeForce 7950GTX that I'm going to be sticking in the HTPC which has 2x DVI outputs on it. I know that HDMI is approximately equal to DVI (and I know that DVI doesn't output sound), and with a simple adaptor one can be the other. What I'm NOT sure of is whether or not DVI-to-HDMI will do full 1080p. I know it will do 1080i, but let's face it - 1080i sucks compared to 1080p. Razzer

So here's the question: Can a single-link DVI-to-HDMI cable do 1080p? Or do I need dual-link? Or is it out of the question all together, and I'm stuck at 1080i no matter what?

C'mon Ryan, we all know 1080 is the vertical resolution of 1080. Any DVI output capable of 1080 veritcal can convert to HDMI for 1080.
